It will give us great pleasure to forward a copy of our catalogue to any 
one who "goes a-fishing." Some people charge for their catalogues, some 
charge for the postage, some charge for both. We are more than willing to 
give away our catalogues and prepay postage on them. No angler, after 
looking at the catalogue, can resist buying from us or from our trade- 
customers all the fishing-tackle he can afford to pay for. That is where we 
get back a good deal more than cost of catalogue and postage.

The growing popularity and success of the EMPIRE TARGET are causing our competitors to renew their efforts to 
malign its qualities by calling it a "cheap imitation and inferior substitute," but it would seem by the enormous sales and 
the large list of leading jobbers and dealers handling the EMPIRE that their efforts were not "panning out" as they would 
wish. We are informed by tbe largest dealers that the Empire is giving better satisfaction than any other target they ever 
handled. The reason for this is that the Empire is a strictly first-class article and sold on its merits. It is manufactured 
under the management of experts, who have been in the business from its beginning, and made by the most expensive and 
perfect automatic machinery, from the very best composition that is possible to put in a target, and so shaped and con- 
structed as to make the surest breaker and flyer, and we challenge our competitors to prove otherwise. 
Empire targets cost no more— perhaps less— than any other, 
and can be thrown from all principal traps.

THE NEW IDEAL BIFLE. 
A gentleman who was thinking of taking a trip to Nova Scotia by 
way of a hunting vacation, had the idea suggested to him that he had 
better start by finding out what the laws of that Province were re- 
garding aliens. This information was furnished with a bill for look- 
ing up the law, which might have been procured in New York at 
only a fraction of the cost. For the modest sum of 25 cents, 
Forest and Stream, the well-known sportsman's journal, publishes 
Game Laws in Brief, a recapitulation of the laws in both the United 
States and Canada, the editor of which is so certain of its correctness 
that he publishes a standing offer of $5 to any one who can find an 
error in it. That the reward has yet to be claimed speaks volumes 
for the accuracy of Mr. Charles B. Reynolds, the editor, and com. 
mends it to the attention of all who use the gun or rod. — New York 
Mail and Express, Sept. 3. 
The Brief gives all that resident or non-resident sportsmen need to know 
of the fish and game laws of this continent It is the standard authority. 
All dealers sell it. Forest and Stream sends it on receipt of price.
